New Jersey Devils forward Patrik Elias has the puck from the Kings’ Stanley Cup win, according to LAKingsInsider.com

Elias found the puck after checking his equipment bag upon returning from vacation. The Kings will get the puck and will be making a donation to Elias’ charity.

The location of the puck had been a subject of much interest over the past two weeks.

Elias told NJ.com on Wednesday com that he did grab the puck when Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals ended, but wasn’t sure where it went from there.

“I don’t have it. I have no idea where it is,” Elias told NJ.com. “I grabbed it when the whistle blew. I had it in front of me and I picked it up with my stick. I went over to (Devils goaltender) Marty (Brodeur) and then I sat on the bench and I think I left it there.”

Elias also said on Wednesday that he did not toss the puck into the crowd or give it to Brodeur.

“I cleared out my locker and I don’t have it,” Elias said. “I’ll check my locker again tomorrow. I’m trying to remember what happened to it. I really don’t have it.”
